Though the front looks similar/same as the Cayenne, the side and back profiles are different and very sleek, with great numbers/specs (the Turbo version 0-60 is 4.4secs for... a SUV).
Proceeded to take a few "spied" snapshots and spoke with one of the instructors on availability (waiting list, earliest delivery is January 2015):

Went for a test drive for the S already, very nimble and the exhaust note is quite intoxicating as well. Body roll was there but much less than you would expect with a SUV. The back slopes down quite quick in the back so that may be a turn off for some.
